I’m Kathy, a floraphotographer working out of Ballarat, Australia.
ARMED just with my iphone, i take photographs of flowers and nature, then combine them to make beautiful artwork.
The practice of spending time in and recording nature has become an important component of my own self-care. This ritual of visiting and revisiting a place, with sustained looking, documenting its changes, provides purpose, focus and creativity. My primary photographic location is at Lake Wendouree and the Ballarat Botanical Gardens.
You can purchase some of my work through Mimosa Studios, via the Shop link. For all other enquiries about products or commissions please use the Contact link.
